Snake of the Day 06-20-15

Show & Tell

Adult Striped FIRE (Amel Bloodred) corn snake.  Most Striped Fire mutants exhibit virtually no pattern as adults, making them desirable for creating visibly pattern-less corns, but this one barely-but-tastefully exhibits classic striping.   A Striped corn should be striped or have no pattern at all IMHO ?  Even though pattern fades to sometimes being essentially gone in striped mutant corns, if I am going to see SOME pattern, I prefer stripes over spots and broken lines.

In another week, these Salmon Snow females (and their brothers) will have fed three times, and therefore deemed shippable. We’ll feature them on the availability page of our web site at that time. Of course, their colors will greatly saturate to being heavily pink and coral in the next two years of maturity.

This 2010 female Corn Snake is currently 45″ long, eating frozen/thawed adult mice.  Acquired from my dear friends John and Bridgett Bernardi in El Paso, this female COULD be a Buf mutant.  When he sent me some of these as hatchlings years ago, he said he could not identify their respective mutation, but felt very strongly that they were dominant to wild type (as revealed by phenotypic evaluation of Punnett Squares).  I bred her a few years ago to an Okeetee and believe that I could distinguish between ones looking like Buf mutants and their Okeetee siblings.  I’m not certain enough to make that claim, so I’m selling her for the price of a good-looking common corn of prime breeding age.  Her $185.00 price includes

Show & Tell

Adult Palmetto and Visual-Het Palmetto.  This Visual-het Palmetto (so-called because it has an appearance commonly seen in het forms of mutations that are dominant to wild-type) is typical of corns that are het for Palmetto.  The overall gold coloration and reduction of melanin give it an appearance that is somewhere between the look of a wild corn and that of the Palmetto mutant.
